Either really, I enjoy linear RPG games that are fast paces and take you on a set path, but I also love free-roam RPG's that let you grind, explore, collect etc.
I don't really care, as long as the game itself is good.
Exploring in Final Fantasy VII was a great experience though, bumping into a powerful boss which was hidden away, finding rare items and materia, those are the aspects I miss in free-roam RPG's.
